Helen:

Thanks for the quick reply, your great!

So what I gather from your pseudo code is that I still have to list a long series of
components and the various methods that I want to access, one set for each component.
It doesn't look like I can simply list :

<some component>.prepare;
<some component>.ParamByName('ClientID').AsInterger......(from your previous help)
<some component>.execute;

where I change the <some component> based on what I pass to the procedure?

What I'm trying to do here is save about 10 minutes of time by spending 2 hours of
figuring out how to do it! <BG>

Thanks again,

Chuck
